A student measured the diameter of a small  steel ball using a screw gauge of least count $0.001\, cm.$ The main scale reading is $5\, mm$ and zero of circular scale division coincides with $25$ divisions above the reference level. If screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.004 \,cm,$ the correct diameter of the ball is

Diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed, figure $(ii)$ the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on circular scale

In a screw gauge, there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the main scale moves by $0.5\,mm$ on a complete rotation of the circular scale. The zero of circular scale lies $6$ divisions below the line of graduation when two studs are brought in contact with each other. When a wire is placed between the studs, $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $46^{\text {th }}$ division the circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$
